Claudia was the perfect host and her apartment was ideal for my stay in Rio. She gave me good advice on where to go and made me feel very at home in her house. The whole family, including cats were lovely, but its a small space so its very important that you like cats if you stay here.
This was my first airbnb experience as a guest and I'm very glad I found Claudia. Thankyou, and looking forward to seeing you in NZ one day.

I spent a week in Rio, leading up to Carneval. I stayed at Claudia's apartment, which was clean, quiet, safe and perfectly centrally located in the metropolis. Claudia, and daughter Elise, were very accommodating and quite helpful with tips and pointers on sundry local and touristic details. Claudia offers a light and pleasant breakfast, and occasionally she, guests and friends may convene and share an evening glass, to recount the days activities and to contemplate the next day's itinerary. One day Claudia, three other guests and I stepped out to participate in Carneval merriment by parading amid the revelling, dancing crowd through the streets, and capped it all off with a cooling dip in the crashing and friendly Atlantic at Copacabana Beach. Fond memories. I would recommend B&B Laux to anyone curious to visit warm and beautiful Rio de Janeiro.

I love Claudia and miss her very much. She is such a great person who offers love, openness, kindness to the people beside her and to me, taking car of me like daughter. She is so responsible to her beloved and to her guests with a so warm heart. To me, she has been a role model I can learn from, a "mom-like" friend that I hope to visit again for sure. She is also a great artist, decorating her house and life in such a beautiful way. During my stay, I saw how people love her and enjoy being with her and I saw her passion and her caring about the society, the building, neighbors, also the poor people. I was always embraced by her kindness, helping me to plan where to go, share the local touches and tips, show me the banks and supermarkets, and even lend me money when I had problem with cash drawing from the bank. ..I just can not make it enough about how nice she is. Also, Her apartment is so nice in a very safe, convenient and decent neighborhood, the room is fairly artistic with independent bathroom, and the breakfast is also very good with fruits, yogurt,etc., and the cats are so cute...all and all have been an unforgettable memory to me..
So I hope you are as lucky as me to stay at her apartment, and enjoy one of the best experiences you could have from travels. Good luck.
And to Claudia: Take care and Miss You!

Response from Cláudia:

This wonderful Chinese girl is missing in my home: her smile, her kindness. Have a nice long trip, Haiying, and come back some day! And tell your mum she has a marvelous daughter.

Claudia and her daughter are amazing guests. Very polite and easygoing. Since I was in Rio in order to study, Claudia was very thoughtful providing me with a desk in the room. The room itself is clean and comfy. The air works alright and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom looks new and the shower is very good.
You're also provided with your own small fridge, on the kitchen, which you can use to store your stuff.
The location is amazing. A short walk from Botafogo metro station (less than 10 minutes if you're a slow walker), from Riosul Mall and the beach.
Unfortunately I had an urgent private matter, which made me have to leave earlier than expected. Once again, Claudia was totally understanding and helped me in whichever way I needed.
Very classy and human.
I'd love to hang out more with them and would definitely recommend anyone staying there.

Claudia and Elisa were organized, attentive and considerate hosts during our 3-day stay in Rio. The room and apartment are spacious and well-equipped, as described, full of art, plants and light, and crisscrossed by an endearing trio of cats. Close to many modes of public transport, the apartment is conveniently located for getting to the ocean-side beaches as well as the historic center.

Our experience was fantastic :)
Me and my boyfriend stayed there for a few nights :)
The room is super clean and looks even better than in the photos :)
Claudia and her daughter were really nice and helpful :)
Botafogo is a very young colorful central and convenient area :)
Definitely recommended :)
